Road wheel covers

It's a journey. Glad you found an economical solution.

I measured the hole they go in it's 10.30mm
The covers diameter that supposed to fit in is 10.50mm

Thats quite alot in all fairness,I use to work at a machine shop and if I was there I'd put them in a lathe but I'm not anymore,but I don't think they will tap in without causing damage to the tank.

I wonder if you have access to drill bits or reamers or even a round file that would get you close to that 10.3mm hole? Try making a hole in a piece aluminum with enough thickness with a slight chamfer and perhaps some heat and fitting those caps to change the shape. With the new ones ordered, you have nothing to loose. If it were me I'd make a test hole that is that 10.3mm and my shaping hole with chamfer slightly larger. You should be able to drive them in and out several times if needed until you get the fit you want.

I have plans to mess with them BUT I will try the plastic ones instead cos that seems like the easier option but either way the leopard seems ok otherwise at the moment,no other problems out of the box
